I mean.... is it really a sacrifice if you’ve already got 15 holes shot through your body?

I agree with everything you said except that those in between bits are boring garbage. They don’t have to be, and Game of Thrones was one of the best examples of how to do those small moments best and rightly so as the book is filled with them. Personally, I’d prefer a show entirely made from this “boring garbage”…

Season 7 was where the fast travel was stupid.

Who needed it explained to them that the ego-maniacal murder-bot might not be the hero they were looking for? 

Does sound a little familiar, doesn’t it?

Trouble is, that whole movie was weaponized stupidity. It was like the Farrely Brothers hooked up with Zack Snyder and tried to make Deadpool. 

I understand how the control scheme works from playing earlier games, but I’m a little disappointed there’s no controller support. I’m a couch gamer, and I really do want to play this, but now you want me to go get a _mouse_? I left my mouse at work when everything shut down due to corona virus.

I don’t think the real problem is that the creators don’t understand the philosophy of Trek. I think the real problem is that American science fiction is no longer able to be genuinely optimistic. The two main Star Trek series were made at the apotheosis of the American empire. It’s easy to imagine a bright future…

Every generational tag is, first and foremost, a curse word when used by all the other generations. Such is our need to see otherness in people.

The Betrayer meeting, the Khan Maykr, Dr.Hayden, etc. were all set up terribly. VEGA (and later Hayden) say “go here and meet X. Do it to kill Y.” Then you go meet X, they give you what you need to advance/kill the next boss, and then you go find six text dumps about why any of that was significant.

Oh hey, a bunch of people who were specially invited to a screening of a film in order to make them feel special, and most have positive feelings about said film. Shocking.

Ok, so thats the reviews from the people who got a special screening with swag bags and a cool red carpet event. Now I’ll wait for the real reviews...

Production design on that film is awesome.

honestly, the Silent Hill movie was one of the better efforts and it’s a perfectly good (if not great) scary movie. Doing the nurse ‘dance’ backwards just give it a little uncanny oomph? Amazing.

Y'know, for all the shit game movies get, seeing the walls in the SH movie turn to festering meat was fucking horrific.

I don’t know if the mystery was boring or just really badly written. There were lots of “of course we can do that, didn’t you know?” moments which are lazy. They were very bad at laying ground work or setting hooks. It wasn’t even really apparent that there was a mystery (so it was difficult to tell if the show was…

I missed the noir, it’s been done, but it’s not being done much any more, so it was nice while it lasted.

The first season had a lot of stuff going on, while this season felt like it wanted to focus on the human relationships... and it suffered for it. All those things they brought up last season which were big parts…

I am so over the whole concept of “games as service.”

In which case, this is fine, no?

To each their own I imagine.
